Potential and Kinetic Energy

Front

Three friends were talking about energy. They were discussing the differences between potential and kinetic energy. What are the differences between potential and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is energy of position and kinetic energy is energy of motion.

You are looking at a picture of a roller coaster moving down a large hill. You are trying to decide what is happening to the energy as the cart moves.

Back

The roller coaster cart is decreasing in potential energy and increasing in kinetic energy.
